RE: Results of This Week’s Tracking Poll
T he findings of our most recent survey, conducted earlier this week among
502 likely voters, show that Senator McConnell continues to be highly
vulnerable to defeat next Tuesday, with McConnell below the important 50%
mark on key measurements.
Our survey findings suggest that this Senate race is headed for a photo finish
between McConnell and Lunsford, with many variables that could determine
the victory. One variable that might work in the challenger’s favor is
that our survey most likely undersampled African-American voters at
6%; the 2004 exit poll for Kentucky showed an 8% African-American
proportion, and it is NOT unreasonable to assume that African-
American turnout on November fourth could be HIGHER than 8% due
to Barack Obama’s candidacy.
